Nicholas Young, 36, of Fairfax, Va., was arrested Wednesday morning at Metropolitan Police Headquarters in Washington and his employment was terminated. Young, at the request of an undercover federal agent, sent codes for mobile messaging cards that Young believed would be used by Islamic State fighters overseas to communicate, according to an indictment filed in federal court in Alexandria, Va.
Authorities said there was never any credible or specific threat to the Metro system. Metro Transit Police Chief Ron Pavlik said in a statement that the investigation into Young began years ago when his office went to the FBI with concerns.
According to authorities, Young has been with the Metro police since 2003 and has been monitored regularly by the FBI, working with Metro police, since 2010.

I wonder how the "officer" would have been rewarded by ISIS should something nefarious had happened in the Metro? It is too bad that the guy didn't resist arrest.
ReplyDeleteJust my two cents.
Instead of banning Muslims we should ban police officers. They must be all bad
ReplyDeleteYou people are really dumb, you don't know anything about how govt works... If you are against the govt, or speak out, they will make up stuff about you and you will believe it hook-line and sinker every damn time...
ReplyDeleteMaybe this cop was one of those people, who didn't want to go along to get along??? It is funny how cops killing people are not in the new but only on video on you-tube and other places, but wham-o here is a story about a cop doing something with or for ISIS... And if you don't know what ISIS is or means it means "Islamic State, Iraq & Syria"...
Another affirmative action hire.
